What are the benefits of fearing walking in the fear of God? II

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes

I greet you all in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ!
I thank God for yet another day to soak our life with the word of God. We have been talking for some time now about the fear of God. Yesterday we saw some of the benefits of walking in the fear of God. Today I want to share more scriptures on the benefits of walking in the fear of God. This is to allow you to see that walking in the fear of God affects every area of our lives. Without the fear of God in a person’s life, he is headed for a defeated and wretched life.
Here are some other benefits of fearing God:

  • God arranges for you to own property: 

“But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive. And it came to pass, because the midwives feared
God, that he made them houses” (Exodus 1:17,21)

  • Walking in the fear of God leads to your promotion in career 

”That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many” Nehemiah 7:2

  • Walking in the fear of God releases the goodness of God over your life in a city and protects you! 

“Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man; thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. Blessed be the LORD: for he hath showed me his marvelous kindness in a strong city” Psalm 31:19-21

  • Walking in the fear of God guarantees your provision in famine

“There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. A horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy, to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine” (Psalm 33: 16-19)
“O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him” Psalm 34:9

  • Walking in the fear of God guarantees answers to your prayers 

“He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him: He also will hear their cry, and will save them. Psalm 145:19 

May the benefits of walking in the fear of God become more real to you from this day onward in Jesus Name!

Till tomorrow,
Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    God so desires for us to seek Him early in the morning. He so desires for us to return to Him. He wants to heal us and to bind up our wounds. God so wants to revive and restore us, so that we could live before Him.

We also saw that instead of entering the tabernacle and seeking the face of the Lord, Israelites were simply observing how Moses spoke to God and how God answered Moses.

    «A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men» (Proverbs, 18: 16).Studying the church history, we see that all of God’s generals didn’t start big. These people used what they had and did whatever they could. They began using the abilities they had. Eventually, their gifts found their place in the Body of Christ and grew into large ministries.For example, Dr. T.L. Osborn saw that people needed salvation, so he started meeting this need to the best of his ability: he started printing little tracts on his printing machine and went door to door leaving them in their post boxes. At the time he couldn’t even imagine that it will lead him to huge international evangelistic ministry that he has today.

  • How do we know if we have the fear of God in our lives?

    The first way to know this is to understand that the fear of God expresses itself in a hatred of evil.“To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech” (Prov. 8:13) (see also Prov. 3:7; 14:16; 16:6; 23:17; Job. 1:1,8; ; II Cor. 7:1). This is just the opposite of the wicked (Eccl. 8:13—”Yet because the wicked do not fear God, it will not go well with them, and their days will not lengthen like a shadow”). (see also Prov. 1:29; Ps. 36:1-4. ).

  • What is compassion?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    We must understand that Jesus’ disciples were not perfect; quite the opposite, they are ordinary people with „character issues”. Jesus did not wait until they become perfect, but sent them out to serve people. He did not have anybody else to send; so He worked with what He had. And He is calling us to do the same today; it applies to every one who considers himself to be His disciple. Jesus desires for God’s children to be filled with compassion and to help people allowing God to touch all the people around them with His love.If we see someone perishing physically because of some illness, we do everything to save him. We often do not realize that unsaved people are spiritually ill, that they are perishing and need salvation. We must do everything in our power to save them. So our hearts need to go out to them with love and compassion.
